My gut says you could get something better for the money. Logitech makes great systems, Klipsch is also great.
Something around this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121122
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836119101
I'd say head over to your local best buy/circuit city/compusa/whatever and demo some speakers. We can talk about speakers all day, but each set will sound a little different to each person. Write down some models you like and brands, and go from there.

When it comes to a 5.1 system I beleive that Logitech has the edge, but in the 2.1 arena the Klipsch Pro Media is the stand out.

Here is what I did, but I already had a SONY receiver. I bought some new CERWIN VEGA E710's Floor speakers $129...... GET SOME!
CERWIN VEGA E710
# Delivers 200 Watts of sound out of a 10" Woofer inside a diecast aluminum frame
# 5 1/4" midrange
# Dome Tweeter
# Midrange & tweeter level controls
# 8 Ohms
Man I've played Call of Duty with just one...................OMG this will drown any of that little logitech crap they call "systems". If you have a receiver, this is the ultimate way to go IMHO.
The CERWIN VEGA E712 Floor Standing Speaker - Black is only $159 (12" sub)

MP3 Adapter, Connects CPU To Stereo, upto 50ft for $14

this thread should be helpful if you decide to get a receiver and speakers:
http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=406103&highlight=$150+speakers
with a $250 budget, this is a nice receiver with a 1 year warranty for $100 shipped, a/b speaker setup so you can use b for the stereo you want in one room and the option to use surround in another room:

and the Infinity Primus 150 bookshelf is on sale at onecall.com for $60 a piece with free 3 day shipping:
http://www.onecall.com/ProductDetails.aspx?sHist=12-110,4-2010$10122&Sort=lowPrice&id=23707
and voila you have a nice stereo system for $220, no sub though, velodynes are $$$, however the infinitys go down to 58hz so what the hey

I use a pair of Athena AS-B1 bookshelfs coupled with the cheapest receiver i could find, and it sounds amazing. If you want the best sound possible, a home theatre setup will sound immensly better than a set of computer speakers.
